I applied on 14th Jan and still waiting......GOD knows how long it would takes for them to do it, So just sit and waiting at the mom like everyone else. All I am hoping that it would comes within 6 months and not send me a letter saying it will need another 3 or 6 months.

FINAL UPDATE

Just realized that I hadn't completely updated this thread. Final timeline is:

Eligibility criteria: 5 years EEA 2 + ILR 1 year (Spouse of EU Citizen)
Language criteria met: LITUK Test and Degree taught in English (abroad), confirmation Letter from University and NARIC confirmed to be equivalent to Level C1
Current nationality: Thai
Method of application: Postal Special Delivery
Date of application: 15/01/2015
Payment method: Credit card
Date of receipt by UKBA: 16/01/2015 (According to Postal Tracking)
Receipt of acknowledgment email: 23/01/2015
Receipt of acknowledgment letter: 28/01/2015 (dated 22/01/2015)
Date of debit or clearance of fees: 23/01/2015
Date approval received: 30/01/2015 (dated 28/01/2015)
Date of ceremony: 18/02/2015

Since then we have also completed Passport Application, received the Passport and managed to complete Electoral Register registration. So all done and dusted now for us. Good luck for everyone else.

Hi Robbie!

I am filling out my UKM form and have also decided for a UK ceremony (I am resident in Germany).

What were the cons of having it in the UK?

I hope mine goes as fast as yours did! If it wasn't for the stupid courier from South Africa losing my mother's document envelope with my mother's original Naturalisation certificate it would have been submitted already. Sigh. Hope it's not a bad omen LOL!

Hi all
I am new here and I would like to know if it is possible to apply for naturalisation after 10 years and 6 months in the uk without holding the ILR in my passport but I have been married for more than 5 years to today
I came to the uk in November 2004 on student visa
in April 2010 I got married to an European and currently hold an eea family member from the 15 October 2010 and will expire on the 15 October 2015
I have called the HO to find out if it was possible to apply straight for naturalisation based on the 10 years and 6 months spent here
the woman I spoke to say it was possible but I need to read about the discretion on the restrictions time during the last 12 months ....
Any one applied for naturalisation based on the 10 years spend here ??
Any help will be appreciated specially people in the boat as me

Congratulations !!! May I ask that was your ILR card returned by Home Office? Thank you
hi nexus have you applied for ILR first before naturalisation, in my case I have spent 10 years and 6 months but I also hold an eea family member card till October 2015
I have also been married to my European partner for more than 5 years so I automatically get the ILR
please let me know
ps: I have also called the HO they said such an application is possible

I have applied on 12th Jan and still waiting. Tired to call HO this morning, went to auto answering and it cut me off as it's still under 6 months. I know we have to wait at the least 6 months for decision/approved but all I am considering right now that HO will send us a letter for another 3-6 months again that's annoying.
Has anyone send an email to HO regards to Jan application, if so please send us the link so we can see how many application has been made and etc over Jan time.
All the best for everyone
